documents

the

history

of

competitive

horse-riding

from

1912-when

the

sport first appeared at the modern Olympic Games

in Stockholm-to the present. It brings together for

equestrian enthusiasts a complete document of all the

results of competitions to have taken place since 1912,

including the Olympics, the European Championships, and

the FEI World Equestrian Games. The volume is organized

by decade, with both individual and team achievements

listed, across the sport's three official disciplines: show- jumping, dressage, and eventing. Featuring groundbreaking

riders such as Bill Steinkraus, Charlotte Dujardin, and

Kevin Staut, and exciting events in the history of the sport,

this volume recounts the history of equestrian excellence

through fascinating stories and record-breaking events.

This entirely original book is the first of its kind, and is

replete with previously unpublished information about

the sport, riveting stories, archival photographs and text,

key facts and figures, and memorable anecdotes. Portraits

of riders-both male and female-and some of the

sport's most remarkable horses complete the volume,

which acts as a key and original point of reference and

an essential addition to the collection of any equestrian

lover.
